If any artisan earns hyperbole, it’s Romeo Santos.

He doesn’t accept in bridge over because already you apprehend his aboriginal two albums, Formula Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, and back you apprehend his latest masterpiece, Golden, your English-speaking base will cantankerous over to him.

This account has been edited for accuracy and length.

Golden plays to your greatest strengths and shies abroad from what’s accepted of a accepted Latin artisan in 2017—you achieve your own rules. After the success of your aboriginal two abandoned records, area was your arch with this album? What were acquisitive to accomplish?When I activate alive on a assembly I don’t absolutely anticipate about my antecedent anthology or albums. I try to accept a absolute artistic process. This album, I wasn’t absolutely abiding if it was activity to be a assiduity of Formula back I accept Vol. 1 and Vol. 2. I didn’t accept too bright an abstraction of what administration I was activity to booty musically. I aloof went into the flat with a lot of melodies and account and capacity and started creating music. Back we were four annal in I acquainted like that I had so abounding altered sounds and so abounding altered concepts that it was aloof alive abroad from the Formula Vol. 1, Vol. 2 vibe. It aloof acquainted like it had its own character. This was different.

I had a lot of complete ideas, musically speaking. I capital to blow things I’d never done before: bossa nova, a little bit of jazz, and it acquainted aureate because of the aboriginal collaboration. Back you accept Julio Iglesias on a song, I anticipate that’s golden. I anticipate the Aureate abstraction comes from the artisan that I accept featured in the production: Juan Luis Guerra, Daddy Yankee, Nicky Jam.

Jessie Reyez – Figures Lyrics | Genius Lyrics | figures jessie reyez lyrics

How did the Julio Iglesias accord appear to be? I anticipate best Latinos abound up with his music. You absolutely did.Absolutely. Actuality able to affection him in a record, afore alike actuality able to accept to the music, it’s a statement. He doesn’t absolutely do abounding collaborations—I anticipate the aftermost time he did a accord was over 30 years ago, and back he does, it’s covers of his own songs that [are being] reproduced. This is a absolute appropriate almanac to me. I don’t apperceive if at this point bodies apperceive the affair of the record. I appetite bodies to acknowledge it, to apprehend it and try to amount out what the song is about because it has a brainy meaning. We’re talking about this acquaintance that we amount and acknowledge who can be affecting and get us in agitation at times because I can acquaint you it’s not absolutely about what 95% of the bodies anticipate it’s about. I appetite to claiming people.

Will you acquaint me what it’s about? Or are you activity to leave it up for interpretation?I’d rather not say. [Laughs.]

There’s not abundant abstruseness in pop music as is. Did you get to address with Julio? How did you facilitate that?It’s absolutely a absolution and an account to say that all the artists on my anthology accustomed me to appealing abundant address everything—the lyrics—with the barring of the Jessie Reyez record, “Un Vuelo A La,” because she’s a biographer as able-bodied and I capital to accord her the befalling to accompany those elements and appearance of autograph into that song. The reggaeton almanac with Daddy Yankee and Nicky Jam, I’m entering their apple so why would I do a disservice to myself to address aggregate back I apperceive these guys accept such a abundant style? Every added almanac I wrote. The Julio Iglesias almanac I wrote and beatific it to him and he admired it. I flew out to Spain, recorded his vocals in his home flat and it was an honor. We had an amazing time. He has an amazing faculty of humor.

Figures- Jessie Reyez (lyrics) - YouTube | figures jessie reyez lyrics

You brought up the Jessie Reyez clue and the Daddy Yankee, Nicky Jam song—both of those angle out as the best altered on your record, musically—especially the Reyez song. There’s about a doo-wop affection to it. Did you adjudge to analyze those genres because it’s what they capital to do as a collaboration? How do you achieve them Romeo Santos songs?I adulation music. I do affirm myself baron of bachata because I accept to represent my genre. I accept to consistently appear out and put on the Superman cape. I’m appealing abundant apery my culture. I’m not activity to change that. But I absolutely don’t appetite there to be a delusion area bodies are like, “the alone affair he brand to do is bachata.” It’s what I mainly do, but I grew up alert to everything. I consistently appetite bodies to apprehend the unexpected, to apprehend me in annal that accept annihilation to do with bachata. Aureate is the aureate befalling for them to acknowledge me on added records. Reggaeton is article I’ve had abundant success with back I collaborated with Don Omar, now, I accept the befalling to assignment with Daddy Yankee and Nicky Jam so this is activity to be, in my opinion, a huge record.

Even with your huge success in Latin music and internationally, you never change to allay anyone. You’re not aptitude into the abstraction of crossover music. Is that intentional?I’ve consistently had a theory, I’ve consistently told people, look: to be altogether honest with you, I don’t anticipate Latin artists charge to sing in English or do a complete pop almanac to crossover. I anticipate that acutely we’ve apparent a lot of abundant artists do it, like Shakira and Enrique Iglesias, and that’s phenomenal. But the music industry in accepted has afflicted in a way that bodies aloof adore music. The absolute archetype would be “Despacito.” You’re alert to reggaeton with Justin Bieber accommodating and alike admitting he’s singing in English, he does discharge a few curve in Spanish and it’s still over a reggaeton beat. To me, that’s amazing, because I’ve consistently approved to get bodies to accept that. I’ve done that with Usher, [“Promise”], I had the No. 1 song I don’t apperceive how abounding weeks on Billboard. I did it with Drake. I accept a bachata almanac with Drake, [“Odio”], that was No. 1 for 13 after weeks. To say that I awash out two Yankee Stadium [dates] and that I’m a bachata artisan is a assurance that we don’t charge to crossover in that way. We don’t charge to change our music format.

You’ve formed with Usher, with Drake, with Nicki Minaj but all your collaborations on this almanac are with Latin artists—with the barring of Swizz Beatz, but he’s a producer.I met Swizz—Jay-Z fabricated the addition and put in a abundant word, which I acknowledge because he gave him the 411 on my status. To be able to assignment with Swizz and actualize this admirable record—and again, you’re talking about bachata, I could’ve done a lot of things. I could’ve done hip-hop. It’s admirable to see how we can do article advantageous and admirable while we’re acquirements [from anniversary other] at the aforementioned time. I was seeing how this man operates, authoritative beats and carnality versa from what he’s told me. That was a cool blockhead session. There was aloof a great, abundant activity in that session.

You’re the baron of bachata, which is Dominican music, but you’re additionally Puerto Rican. There’s a song on Aureate alleged “Ay Bendito,” that starts with a recording of coquis, the baby frog alone aboriginal to the island that sings every night—and there’s a cuatro, a acceptable stringed Puerto Rican instrument. Was that a little “I got you” to your boricua fans?To be honest I didn’t absolutely try to go do this almanac to try and go get my Puerto Rican admirers or do it intentionally—it’s organic. I grew up on that blazon of music from Puerto Rico and thought, you apperceive what? It has an absorbing melody, and I anticipation about the fusion. I accept a abundant artisan in my accumulation that grew up with that music and plays cuatro, bark out Alvin Medina. The almanac aloof appealing abundant acquired from there.

You’re accepted for these cool adult alive sets—there’s an absolute bed involved. You’re a adventurous performer. Does that appear naturally?I’m the blazon of artisan to try to accord what admirers want. I accept the albatross of aggravating to go into this sexiness, if it feels organic. I don’t appetite to aloof address a almanac that has a austere affair and try to be adult with that. I anticipate the best way to call it is that anybody I accept anytime met, I accept best acceptable accounting a almanac about your bearings or your life. The erotic, animal annal are apparently the ones that become the best accepted because the absoluteness is that sex sells. I wouldn’t appetite bodies to accept that abstraction of “Romeo is a adult artist. Aggregate is sexy.” I accept adult records, and on stage, I’ve created this appearance of Romeo Santos is a lot riskier than me, Anthony, the absolute person. I would say I’m a little bit of everything—secure, assured and sexy, but I’m a bit added conservative. If that’s what bodies appetite and that’s what bodies like, that’s what I’ll accord them.

And they like fantasy, the Romeo Santos world.It’s absolutely a world, yeah.

What’s in abundance for the future? In the aftermost brace years, you were featured in Furious 7, you accurate a bird in the Angry Birds Movie. Is added acting on the horizon?I would like to get into the acting apple but I absolutely anticipate you charge to appropriate bearings and discipline. You need, added importantly, the time. You accept to be able to accord 100%. Appropriate now I’m focused on my album. Aureate is my No. 1 priority, but I would adulation to get involved. If addition calls me with article that’s not that time consuming, like a cameo, I’d absolutely be bottomward if it makes sense.
